2020 certainly was a year like no other! Fortunately many Petrels were able to keep in touch via the internet. Zoom gatherings were held by many societies throughout North America allowing us to observe or take part in their meetings. It also allowed many guests from afar to join our meetings.
As is our tradition, the Stormy Petrels of BC will meet for the January brunch. Unfortunately, due to circumstances with which we all are familiar, meeting in person is not an option.
For the time being, we will continue to enjoy our meetings, as well as the Sherlock Holmes Birthday Brunch, via Zoom.
Saturday, January 9th, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. we will log on and enjoy each other’s company while enjoying our own brunch. As always, it will be an informal time to chat and get caught up on what is going on in the Sherlockian world and in our own world.
To make it fun, your meal should have a Sherlockian reference. For example: “Eggs Benedict Cumberbatch”
Priory Schoolmaster Sheldon will e-mail the Zoom link closer to the day.
I hope to see as many Petrels as possible for the brunch, at which time your President will bestow upon all members a special gift on behalf of the Executive.
